windows 8 BIOS setting
With Windows 8, you can access your computer’s BIOS settings on your screen without going through the procedure of pressing F2, F1, F10, or any other key sequence. This control in Windows 8 is known as UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), which is a synonym of Windows 8 BIOS setup utility. Though BIOS is a component of hardware, but Microsoft, with Windows 8, has handed over this control to users to enable them change the advanced settings on their computers. Since Windows 8 boot is relatively faster than its predecessors, accessing BIOS through key sequence is no longer a choice (in fact a headache) for users. So if you are one of those advanced users who want to customize Windows 8 BIOS settings, this is how you can go about it.
Step 1
Launch “Settings Charm” (Windows + I key combination) and navigate to “Change PC Settings”. From “PC settings”, click “General” and then “Restart now” from under “Advanced startup”.
Step 2
On the next screen, click/tap “Troubleshoot”
Navigate to “Advanced options”, “UEFI Firmware Settings” and then click “Restart”. Your computer will now boot up in to the BIOS settings.
Step 3
You will not be able to access the BIOS setup utility (UEFI) on an upgraded Windows 8 machine. To be able to access the BIOS, you will need to go old enroute which is using the “F2” key or the key dedicated by your computer manufacturer.
